I know a little boy called Eden. Really suits him.

Nanasueathome · 13/07/2015 09:22

Both my niece and my cousins daughter called their daughters Eden Olivia
Neither knew what names the other had decided in until they announced the birth and name

I think of it as a girls name.

Eden Juliet
Eden Marianne
Eden Coralie
Eden Louisa
Eden Isobel

Gileswithachainsaw · 13/07/2015 09:51

It's a girls name to me.

I really like it

Floggingmolly · 13/07/2015 09:54

I've only ever known boys called Eden. It's nice.

Emochild · 13/07/2015 09:55

I know one of each

I would generally assume girl though

Heels99 · 13/07/2015 09:57

Boy or Girl?

Passmethecrisps · 13/07/2015 09:58

I have known one of each. Both teenagers when I knew them but the boy will be in his twenties now.

Lovely name

BothEndsBurning · 13/07/2015 11:28

I think it's more masculine. There was a male singer in the 60s called Eden Kane which was my earliest recollection of it. But I've never met anyone, male or female, called Eden.

BobsBurglars · 13/07/2015 11:33

Oooh what a lovely name. I like the fact that it could work for either gender, neither too masculine nor feminine for either. Would work well with a longer, more flowing middle name.

Eden Olivia is beautiful NanaSue

sebsmummy1 · 13/07/2015 11:34

I know a little girl called Eden and she suits it.

NorbertDentressangle · 13/07/2015 11:37

I know a boy called Eden so think of it as a boys name.

MamaLazarou · 13/07/2015 11:38

I know a girl called Eden but think it works as either.

Sophronia · 13/07/2015 11:43

I only one I know is a man in his twenties.

reuset · 13/07/2015 11:58

Anthony (Eden) sprang to mind.

Nightclub name.

Facts: Unisex but used more for girls. I don't like it, personally.

TwoLittleBlooms · 13/07/2015 12:01

Beautiful name, I would consider it a feminine name. Although, I have never come across it used for either.

ems942 · 13/07/2015 15:18

Lovely- I know two girls aged 3/4 who are Eden

SingForBacon · 13/07/2015 15:20

I definitely see it as a boys name.

sweetpeame · 13/07/2015 15:59

To me it sounds very feminine so I definitely wouldn't use it for a boy. In actual fact I wouldn't use it for a girl either, I think it sounds quite faddy (even if it's not).

NadiaWadia · 13/07/2015 17:15

Sounds more feminine to me, though I know it can be used for boys too. A good name, nice sound and lovely meaning.

MrsPeeee · 13/07/2015 17:26

I know a boy Eden but I think it's more feminine.

Junosmum · 13/07/2015 20:34

Girl

Grace
Felicity
Adele

Dansak · 13/07/2015 20:37

I know a young boy called Eden and a baby girl Eden. I feel its more feminine.

EmmaWoodlouse · 13/07/2015 20:40

I've never met an Eden but a friend has a goddaughter called Eden Savannah. I've heard of Eden Kane too, and I think it would make an equally good name for either sex, as it's so rare for either that it doesn't really seem to have become strongly associated with one or the other.

Woobeedoo · 13/07/2015 21:10

Eden is the name me and OH chose if we had a little girl although there is a boy with that name at DS's nursery. It's definitely a girls name for me though.
